Flux from an infinite charged sheet

[HarishRR]

Homework Statement

There is an infinite sheet of charge density sigma,we place a cone cutting through the infinite sheet at a point,find the flux through entire cone,the right side of cone,the left side of cone

Relevant Equations

integral of E.dA

I tried finding the cone's Flux and from there i have no idea ,can anybody pls help me ?
Thanks in Advance

I suspect that this is not the exact text of the original problem statement. can you quote it exactly and provide images of any included diagrams? What other parameters are involved?

See this(below)

Assume all the necessary parameters given

Still not clear. What does "H imply? What does the "R" and "2R" imply? Is the cone infinite or finite? Please present the problem precisely.

The way I read it, the cone is halfway through the sheet, and since its base radius is R it intersects the sheet to form a circle radius R/2. Or perhaps that should be 2R and R respectively- it is not clear from the diagram whether R and 2R are radii or diameters.

First, think what the lines of flux from the sheet look like.
